Re: Getting request URI with JSTL

[otisg <ot...@ureach.com>]

I had mailed this over a weekend....not a good time to mail :)

Does anyone know how to get '/Action.do' or even
'/context/Action.do' from a request such as
http://www.example.com/context/Action.do?foo=bar ?

Using JSTL.

When I use JSTL to get various request properties, I only get
JSPs used to create the page, and not real request elements,
like '/Action.do'.

Thanks,
Otis

<c:out value="${pageContext.request.servletPath}"/>
